We are gathered here to take an important step in the implementation of a long-overdue policing reform effort– the Community Policing Initiative. “We want Lagos State to be a role model for the rest of the country in terms of how community policing should function. “Community Policing, in its ideal implementation, will take a lot of pressure off the Police Force and allow them to focus their energy and resources where it matters most. According to him, the committees which will include: Area Command Community Policing Advisory Committee, Local Government Community Policing Advisory Committee, and Divisional Community Policing Committee.
